I've a question about Hard West, is it purely linear mission based or are there dialog options, sidequest and a world beyond the action.

Now why is it I wonder that FOX news doesn't run with this story?

Did I tell you that story about my friend who hates Ben Stiller, until we went over all of his movies and turns out he likes those movies. I think I mentioned this story before. Ben Stiller is great, he is the Tom Petty of film. Even if you don't like him you can't help but enjoy his work.

I remember once seeing a Cuban drama about the romantic relationship between a blind man and a woman. I mention it because she described what colors look liked by matching them with their meanings. So anger is red, and hope is green. You can communicate anything as long as there is some common elements shared.

I think I get what you mean, Dark Souls however saved a lot in development cost by not being as graphically impressive as other games. Plus the boss behaviors aren't all that complex and can be iterated between bosses but they are effective however. BTW I assume that we are talking about Dark Souls and not Dark Souls 2 (that cesspool).

I can't help to see a need and a movement towards "regressivism", we are heading to places where the only solutions is to return to the measures of days past. I guess that's what happens when progressives discard traditions without understanding them because they are inconvenient to their lifestyles.

I like your idea but it is very costly in terms of production if we are talking about introducing new enemy types as the game progresses. I would prefer to approach it in terms of tactics. Instead of having drowners be more difficult, mix enemies so that it becomes more challenging. For example: drowners are very fast and can "DPS" the player, so If you bring a tank to the mix that will engage the player then you have a more complex situation. If you add a healer to the mix then it is even more complex, and you can vary it by simply trying out different combinations. I've learnt a thing from trying my hand at designing games and that its that game should absolutely be designed holistically. The parts you produce should incorporate into the overall game in a manner that changes the whole. Edit: forgot to post

As Hispanic I find this disturbing.

Incidentally you could make the previous game level 30 your level one by keeping the same enemies and having base skills while subsequently escalating the difficulty. A games reviewer had an idea once about starting the player at the maximum level and stripping levels, skills and equipment from him as he progressed. I have no idea if that could actually work or if there'd be any kind of audience for it but it sounded like an interesting idea on how to mix up level and difficulty progression. You'd basically be turning the level pyramid on it's head by starting overpowered and after a certain point every level right to the end of the game is balanced and challenging. There might also be a thrill from having to make hard choices and think carefully and adapt your play-style as your options become more limited. Wouldn't work, people like having agency not being denied options.

I know in the west there is hijab ban, you ban Muslim women wear hijab. Muslim women cannot get job because wearing hijab. You western say if MOSLEM want to live in the west must follow western values. That's what western say...especially France... There is no such similar law in Muslim countries i ever heard of...you Christians can wear whatever you want...you are not a subject to Muslim rule. In my country there are two courts, Shariah Court for Muslims and Civil Court for Muslim AND non-Muslim. Means we as Muslim here have to worry about two laws, Muslim law and secular laws. Non-Muslim only worry about secular laws.... I've no idea where you got that ban thing (there might be in some places though) but I regularly see women wearing hijabs at my weekend job and I'm not even in an area that has a lot of Muslims. Also your comment on the dual legal system isn't praise but an indictment on the failings of a theocracy.

Qistina, you have taken it upon yourself to educate us about Malaysian culture, and I appreciate it. As someone who has never been there and knows very few people from your country, that is invaluable. But much like you are telling us to not buy into the media portrayal of the US, I'd caution you to not buy into the portrayal of the US as Qu'ran burning zealots. I watch it from CNN and Fox News, not the media of my country. It come from your source, not mine. Through internet i can see everything, from videos, Islamophobia is bad and real. i see western peoples harrasing Muslims, bombing mosque with molotov coctail or something, stoning mosque, giving verbal abuse, kill a Muslim woman in a court...ect ect...Americans making rallies and shouting against islam and Muslims....draw a Mohamad day.... No such thing done by Muslims in my country toward peoples of other faith, we go to school together, eating at the same table, working together, we have companies where Muslims working with Christian/Hindu/Buddhist bosses...Christians/Buddhists/Hindus take place in the government as ministers, they also can become candidates in elections Treatment toward Muslims are bad in the west Well, most of the cultural clashes that the West has had with the Muslim world were with the extremist elements. So that's were they're coming from; except that incidentally those clashes came about mostly because of two reasons: the Cold War and the state of Israel.

>>>/pol/ At the risk of coming off the wrong way, history is shades of grey. The fact that there is one period of time were everything is portrayed as black and white and every attempt at dispelling it it is silenced should be proof enough that the propaganda machine hasn't stopped.

I'm all up for more draconian measures that ensure results but everyone seems afraid of giving the government more power while at the same time giving the government and the corporations who control it more power.

Hahaha. You're alright Bruce. Your views are terrible but you can handle the banter. Okay but then I have no idea what type of SJ you believe in? I assumed you had similar views to me, not about Capitalism but the importance of a fair and equitable society and that would mean realistically you need to uplift people to the middle class at least So what US president do you support The difference is that liberals think welfare is the way up, but don't realize that like children people have to be pushed or else they will still be 30 without a job in their parents house playing video games. Okay good point, to be clear I don't believe in state welfare...no this is not what I would consider is sustainable or is about job creation. I doubt any Liberal in the USA would actually say this as welfare just holds people back as it gets abused? US democrats use welfare to keep blacks as their spoiled children so they keep voting Democrat and cant be bothered by anyone abusing the system. I know this for a fact because I work weekends on a supermarket and I've seen welfare cards that have 1000+ dollars in their account, meanwhile I work with people whose whole family work 2 jobs almost every day and were denied welfare. Seriously; **** welfare, It doesn't work. It is not helping the hardworking to get ahead and it is only making sure that their dollars go to help some shameless people that have no scruples cheating the system. You want to help poor people, then control government spending and get rid of sales taxes as well as some other ridiculous taxes. Orog what you suggesting is a serious indictment of how to abuse the welfare system and worse than that this type of corruption actually wouldn't benefit African Americans. It goes against everything the Democrats believe and I can't imagine is wide spread? Look up Thomas Sowell, his claims that African Americans are worse off 20 years after welfare than right after being released from slavery are accurate to a point. Welfare isn't doing the main thing that it was meant to do which is to raise the standard of living, meaning getting people off welfare not more people getting into it. @Barothmuk: Sorry that I wasn't clear, the supermarket I work at is one of those upper level markets for middle class and high class incomes. It is definitely not Walmart or Costco, and the people with those cards are driving some pretty nice cars for someone on welfare. Also, we know what people on welfare actually get (the ones that apply and get it legally) because we know people that are on it. It is never 1000 dollars, the only possibility its what everyone suspects: that there is money under the table so that our tax dollars go to support some shady bastard while honest people struggle.

To be fair, that sounds like typical 'senior' dev behaviour. Is funny to not back down when that happens though The consensus where? To be fair it is hard to take it seriously because of a refusal to come out publicly; as we are only getting anecdotal experience from an anonymous source we have no way of confirming how true it all is. It could be that she/he is right or that he/she has some mental problems and can't understand human behavior, so while I find some parts of the story disturbing others I find too whiny. Either way Indie its where its at, or middle level developers. The big publishers are just corporate cesspools.

Sorry to hear.

Strangely enough I do well with children when I'm told I'm weird with people. Must because I'm not anxious about traumatizing them (in fact it makes a bit giddy) Seriously though, I don't put on kid gloves for children and they seem to respond to the earnest tone by themselves becoming more earnest.

Maybe its time to bring back your old signature?

Must resist!!!...**** it I donated.

I'd rather direct them to a place with actual hardship, or one that won't put up with this endless stream of stupidity but if there was such a place I might move there. snip I rather not trade a totalitarian support of stupidity for a different kind of totalitarian support of stupidity, I'm going through my second exposure to a country politics dictating what the public discourse its and I'm wondering if there is any place with actual free speech and an internet connection. I might try Antarctica but I don't know how many Mbps I can get there.

Look my problem is that I can't do exactly what you suggest, I realize that omission is a useful trait when it comes to a lot of things but it is something I've never had. I could never just ignore what was on the back of my mind so I just had to face everything head on. When it comes to things that take time I just try to have something else that it is entirely different going on at the same time; the thing is that right now I desperately want my life to head in some direction but I don't know how to get there. I have a vague idea of how but I can't rightly ignore it when everything in my life its pointing me to the change I have to make but can't because it is not the right time yet. (I've to wait a little longer) It is just a matter of enduring and sticking to the path I've chosen but right now I just need a little bit of faith and that its why I needed to vent. Because tomorrow I know that I've to be strong for someone else, so if it isn't too much to ask right now I need someone to hold me up. BTW, don't worry all that much I've been in this stage a lot of times and I won't just disappear like Wals (whatever happened to him anyways?!) Just let me vent today and tomorrow I will be sober and back to normal.

Alternatively it could have also been better if Padme impending death would have been earlier, rather than at the end of the final film. I might have more sympathy for a man trying to save his terminal wife than for one driven by the the self fulfilling prophecy that his wife will die.
